+
+Given students' names along with the grade that they are in, create a roster
+for the school.
+
+In the end, you should be able to:

+- Add a student's name to the roster for a grade
+  - "Add Jim to grade 2."
+  - "OK."
+- Get a list of all students enrolled in a grade
+  - "Which students are in grade 2?"

+- Get a sorted list of all students in all grades.  Grades should sort
+  as 1, 2, 3, etc., and students within a grade should be sorted
+  alphabetically by name.
+  - "Who all is enrolled in school right now?"
+  - "Grade 1: Anna, Barb, and Charlie. Grade 2: Alex, Peter, and Zoe.
+    Grade 3…"

+# Grep
+
+Search a file for lines matching a regular expression pattern. Return the line
+number and contents of each matching line.
+
+The Unix [`grep`](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/grep.html) command can be used to search for lines in one or more files 
+that match a user-provided search query (known as the *pattern*).
+
+The `grep` command takes three arguments:
+
+1. The pattern used to match lines in a file. 
+2. Zero or more flags to customize the matching behavior.
+3. One or more files in which to search for matching lines. 
+
+Your task is to implement the `grep` function, which should read the contents
+of the specified files, find the lines that match the specified pattern
+and then output those lines as a single string. Note that the lines should
+be output in the order in which they were found, with the first matching line
+in the first file being output first.
+
+As an example, suppose there is a file named "input.txt" with the following contents:
+
+<pre>
+hello
+world
+hello again
+</pre>
+
+If we were to call `grep "hello" input.txt`, the returned string should be:
+
+<pre>
+hello
+hello again
+</pre>
+
+### Flags
+
+As said earlier, the `grep` command should also support the following flags:
+
+- `-n` Print the line numbers of each matching line.
+- `-l` Print only the names of files that contain at least one matching line.
+- `-i` Match line using a case-insensitive comparison.
+- `-v` Invert the program -- collect all lines that fail to match the pattern.
+- `-x` Only match entire lines, instead of lines that contain a match.
+
+If we run `grep -n "hello" input.txt`, the `-n` flag will require the matching
+lines to be prefixed with its line number:
+
+<pre>
+1:hello
+3:hello again
+</pre>
+
+And if we run `grep -i "HELLO" input.txt`, we'll do a case-insensitive match, 
+and the output will be:
+
+<pre>
+hello
+hello again
+</pre>
+
+The `grep` command should support multiple flags at once.
+
+For example, running `grep -l -v "hello" file1.txt file2.txt` should
+print the names of files that do not contain the string "hello".
+

+# Hamming
+
+Calculate the Hamming difference between two DNA strands.
+
+A mutation is simply a mistake that occurs during the creation or
+copying of a nucleic acid, in particular DNA. Because nucleic acids are
+vital to cellular functions, mutations tend to cause a ripple effect
+throughout the cell. Although mutations are technically mistakes, a very
+rare mutation may equip the cell with a beneficial attribute. In fact,
+the macro effects of evolution are attributable by the accumulated
+result of beneficial microscopic mutations over many generations.
+
+The simplest and most common type of nucleic acid mutation is a point
+mutation, which replaces one base with another at a single nucleotide.
+
+By counting the number of differences between two homologous DNA strands
+taken from different genomes with a common ancestor, we get a measure of
+the minimum number of point mutations that could have occurred on the
+evolutionary path between the two strands.
+
+This is called the 'Hamming distance'.
+
+It is found by comparing two DNA strands and counting how many of the
+nucleotides are different from their equivalent in the other string.
+
+    GAGCCTACTAACGGGAT
+    CATCGTAATGACGGCCT
+    ^ ^ ^  ^ ^    ^^
+
+The Hamming distance between these two DNA strands is 7.
+
+# Implementation notes
+
+The Hamming distance is only defined for sequences of equal length. This means
+that based on the definition, each language could deal with getting sequences
+of equal length differently.
